...which is where I met MW. I thought it better than Apollo's Song, not quite as good as Phoenix, and, because the political and social bitterness, about on a level with Ode to Kirihito. But Kirihito is truly hopeful, whereas MW...really ain't. I hope the movie--won't chnage that! Most nice guys--don't even finish.

I love Tezuka when he's being sarcastic, ironical, and taking a dim view of humanity! (Needles to say, I despised Astro Boy ("The Mighty Atom"). I ate up the gekiga--the novels for adults. Negativity is second only to tragedy as a prayer for change (although one is left with the lingering doubt that human beings are EVER going to start loving each other).

Hey Twisted Dude,

I was perusing my older posts. Remember my definition of "Geechie" as GuyTwisted? Well, I just wanted to say that it's real cool that you're 70+, really smart, and struttin' in the Internet world. I'm hoping that doesn't sound ageist. :)

Hey, you can call me an old bag if you want! That's what I am. A "Geechie"--is a derogatory name for a black man from a particular part of the world...I've forgotten which (see, I told you I was old!). Would Mississippi be a good guess
(CJ)?

I'm not sure what state, but that's correct. I had a more limited definition of it (based on personal opinion). :)
